system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system

setup parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup,

please turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power

supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3

on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the CMOS right

after you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just finish

updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and then shut it down

before you do the clear-CMOS action.
